AFL OptiNID Duo Optical Demarcation Enclosure

The OptiNID (OPN) Duo Optical Demarcation Enclosure from AFL is the latest entry in the OptiNID fibre-optic demarcation family of products. The ultracompact OPN Duo can house up to 4 SC simplex or LC duplex adapters, with the ability to house up to 18 single-fibre or six mass-fusion splices.

The OPN Duo is optimised for the use with AFL’s FASTConnect or FUSEConnect field-installable connectors. The base of the enclosure houses an insert that incorporates fibre routing, splice tray, adapter plate and cable retention features. The enclosure also has several optional features such as a clear splice/security cover for protecting provider-side connectors or a grounding plate for grounding armoured or toneable drop cables.

Features include: an integrated splice tray for up to 18 single fusion splices or six mass fusion; optional clear splice/security cover splices, pigtails and provider-side connectors; and snap-lock cover with optional 3/8″ screw for added security. The product is designed and tested to the applicable portions of Telcordia GR-49 and GR-2898.

The OPN Duo is available with two different base cable entry options, either a pair of U-shaped ‘drop-in’ style grommets or two half-inch ports allowing for a variety of different entry accessories.
